The fines(called a tax) are what made it constitutional
Now you know what robbery looks like, at the end of the barrel of a gun.

News flash:

Most Americans don't have pre existing conditions.

Yes....the ACA helped those that do....but it's screwed those that do not.

And even if I did have a pre-existing condition, what good is covering it if I can't afford my premium and deductible?

The insurance that I had prior to Obamacare was not fantastic....but it was absolutely a gold plan by today's standards.

What used to cost me a $35 copay for a simple office visit to get a prescription refilled, now costs me upwards of $300.00..... or more if there are lab tests.
Because now everything goes towards my now quadrupled deductible.

And that's not an anecdote.

No, not really. There is a good portion right now that is predicated on a take-and-take-and-take-etc principle. It would appear you are among them.

My co-pays went from $30 to $50, and I can no longer go directly to a specialist without a referral first, so that $50 copay is usually $100 now. My premium went up over 20% per year, and my choices overall in the plan decreased, so yeah I'm with you on that.

Finally some good news from a federal judge.

I'm sure Democrats have no problem with one unelected judge setting national policy.

People beg to be forced by government, to gamble with their lives.
The biggest pyramid scheme in the USA...


You cannot make this crap up. Walking zombies that cannot figure out the end game.
